Free TV?

Speaking of FTA membership clubs, I have a friend whose Father in Law wanted to beat the system, so he bought a D*** N** receiver from one of these neighborhood hack*r Ramboes. The thing cost him $200.-- installed and the hack*r dude sold him a club membership that promised him that if it ever got scr*mbl*d, for $35.--, he would get the softw*re opened back up.

2 months, all Op*n, then every 2 weeks, he's shelling out $35.-- to get the "free" stuff. He went legal after 8 months of calling his Hack*r Dude. Now D***N** gets their monthly payment (As they should!) and my friends Father in Law has a very expensive door stop.

>>True FTA is indeed Free To Air!<<

>>It is also perfectly legal to receive unencrypted satellite signals.<<

The lesson here is "If you are receiving something free that other people are paying for, you're stealing it."

Word!
